So, you have an annual pass, and you want to go see Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? We don’t blame you. It looks amazing.

Disney announced Thursday that its much anticipated Star Wars:Galaxy’s Edge land will have a soft opening beginning May 31 — but not for everyone. Visitors will be required to get free advance reservations to visit until June 23, with the details on that to be announced later (Hint: If you’re staying at an official Disneyland resort hotel, you’ll automatically get one). The reservations will be required in addition to the regular priced admission — or a valid annual pass.

The current two-park-per-day system on a single calendar will continue intact until June 1, when the resort’s new park-by-park blockout system for passholders begins. Note that if you’re blocked out of Disneyland and Star Wars, you may still be able to go to Disney California Adventure, where a Lion King celebration will take place this summer.

Disneyland launched its annual pass program in June 1983. It’s been widely reported that Disneyland now has 1 million annual passholders, though that has never been confirmed by Disney. Park-goers are encouraged to buy passes by easy monthly payments, which has the advantage of lowering the initial payment for guests and spreading a guaranteed cash flow out for the resort, which is favored by accountants.
